HAL BOYLE argues that fear of aging grips Americans over 24 for women and 29 for men, urging a shift from calendar youth to a calendar of the spirit. The piece notes youth is kept by attitude, music, ideas, confidence, and curiosity, citing Tom Thumb’s life and a 19th century example. The column closes with reflections on aging, resilience, and staying engaged with life.
